Want to buy a football team?
You can probably get a pretty good deal on a professional football team most people in Minnesota have never heard of.
The Cleveland Panic have lost their owners. They say they have no time to run the team in the Southern Plains Football League in Cleveland, Minn., and the Minnesota Havoc, which most people have probably never heard of either. They're an expansion franchise in the Indoor Football League.
The owners tell the Le Center Leader newspaper that they'll entertain offers until Thanksgiving. The team bus is included, they say.
If they get no offers, they'll shut the team down.
The Panic, by the way, led their league in attendance for four straight years.
